When it comes to the summing mixer, remember that the idea of "inserts" goes out the window. Inserts are for applying processing in-between stages of a mixer (like after the mike preamp). Since a summing box doesn't have multiple stages, channel inserts make no sense.
I'm not sure about that...what if you have, say, a vocal track in your mix and you want to run it through your nice analog compressor, but there are a lot of fader moves? Typically you'd want the compressor before the fader because you've set the threshold, etc at a certain level, but if the compressor comes after your DAW output how do you handle that without a DAW insert?
